    This restaurant is disorganized. The food is good, but the staff has no idea what they’re doing from the hostess to the staff. We were there twice, made reservations both times and they didn’t even bother to check us off. The reservation list. We won’t be going back.

    The setting is gorgeous with views of the neighboring islands. The sun was setting as we ate our meal - it was very memorable. The menu is a little small and pricey, but we still enjoyed ourselves. Our server was kind and funny.

    Happy Hour service and menu is the way to go here. We had a great HH experience so we made dinner reservations for a few days later. Dinner menu not as varied and inventive, cocktails were meh, and noise level was distracting. Beautiful space, and perhaps we hit the post-Thanksgiving lull, but for the $, I’d pick Monkeypod (same restaurant group) or Ulu at happy hour! Meal was fine, and it is Hawaii, so everything is relative!
